Is this UV / Weather resistent?

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

i was asked to say something about the product. i have not used the elastic cord outside ,so we both don't know the answer .

Yes it does. UV will get to it in a year or so here in Texas but it did what I wanted.

As long as the female end of the cable is not exposed to moisture, I would certainly give it a shot. This is a well built and sturdy cable. As to the resistance to ultraviolet rays, I am unsure. If the installation is long term, I would not recommend it.

The product is sealed as it is weather resistant. I had no issues with my speakeI would suggest you check the connection

I've only had it for a month or so, and therefore can't give an accurate answer about long-term durability. I have another of these from last year that still looks new. My garden is on a 17th floor city terrace that's exposed to bright sunlight and weather all year round so it gets plenty of UV although we are not that much above sea level. My hope is that the dark color will keep it looking newer than the terra-cotta colored plastic pots, which tend to fade badly after two or three years.

No it is not weather resistant. Indoor/Office use only. Very thin metal. Does not have a tight seal.

I do not know if it is UV resistant, mine hasn't changed color. I do know that with a weighted base, over 50 pounds, it will withstand winds to 25 or 30 MPH

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

Yes. i bought for this. It has UV protection. Unfortunately I have not yet had the opportunity to use it.

Yes, my cable is about 75% out exposed to the elements, mostly the sun and its been working great since i got it

Not sure about the weatherization of the PVC, but make sure to get solid copper. This is copper plated aluminum, so you may have connectivity issues.

Considering that if it was UV rated they would brag about it I would say no! the outside protection does not seem heavy or thick such as UV rated electrical wire. Plan on interior or conduit for this!

I applied it to a cold frame early last spring. I live at over 3500 feet altitude, therefore I get a strong dosage of ultraviolet radiation. During the winter months the material became brittle due to the radiation and broke up. This is a good material for the price but it is not resistant to ultraviolet at this altitude. I do have a greenhouse that I covered with a ultraviolet resistant plastic that is god for four years but the price is much higher. If you have a greenhouse which is easy to cover the warp brothers material might be the best way to go. If you prefer not to recover it every year I would suggest buying a resistant material for longevity. You might check the material offered by "greenhouse megastore, growers supply or Charlie's greenhouse" for price comparison. I hope this will help you out. If you have any other questions I will be glad to give you my input.

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

It is more of a plastic sheath, but I do not know how well it would hold up to UV from the sun. It is water proof, but it would need some protection from the elements, would recommend placing under a edge or ledge to keep it from sun light and weather. Best if used indoors. Or as I have done place it in clear plexiglass tube, seal with silicone.
